The Golden State Warriors now appear to face one less competitor in the chase for veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon in free agency, though there's still no guarantee that the franchise capitalizes on their latest good fortune.
That fortune comes in the way of the New York Knicks signing Landry Shamet as first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday, with the move potentially opening the door even further for Brogdon to land at the Warriors.
Warriors now have clear path to landing Malcolm Brogdon
Knicks insider Ian Begley of SNY reported in recent days that Shamet and Brogdon had been on the team's radar, but it now seems as if New York have made their choice despite the need for a backup point guard that's likely to sit with 24-year-old Tyler Kolek.
